Criminal Intent

Now that we've pretty much aired the topic of prostitution and the relevant politics of San Francisco, we'll return to the facts pertinent to the battle against Craigslist:

1. Prostitution is for the most part slavery. 2. Prostitution is run by organized crime. 3. Prostitution demand is supplied by human trafficking. 4. Prostitution is marketed on Craigslist. 5. Prostitution on Craigslist includes children.

So legalizing prostitution is legalizing slavery, slavery that demands new bodies trafficked from all corners of the globe, wherever desperate poverty lures the innocent into a living hell. But prostitution is not legal here, and Craigslist has chosen to profit from the human misery associated with it. By their choice, Craigslist has demonstrated callous disregard for humanity as well as criminal intent.
